Affordable Art Fair in Singapore









The first AAF came to Asia and chose Singapore. The Affordable Art Fair started in Battersea Park, London in 1999. Will Ramsay had an idea: make modern art accessible to everyone and make everyone a proud owner of an art piece that it might, in the future, happen to be a good investment also. The Fair then spread to Bristol, and now is displayed in many cities around the world, Paris, New York, Amsterdam, even Milano where the Fair will be next, from February 3-6.
A lot of galleries from all around the globe for well known or less known artists, all pieces range from around 300 euros to ten thousand, most of them are around 2500 euros. But you can find photographs or prints at less. A lot of inspiration for the artists and quite a good mix of different tecniques,from acrylic to water colors to resin to wood. Few sculptures  and even blowed glass pieces.
